    "The Nation's Most Comprehensive Intercollegiate Regional Cable Television Package"

    The SEC-TV programming umbrella represents a unique partnership between the Southeastern Conference and Fox Sports Net South, which provides the league with 41 live, weekly studio shows and game/event cable television exposure for every conference sport. FSN South, the nation's largest regional sports television network, delivers SEC-TV programming to nine (9) million homes in seven (7) states -Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. And, through the network's distribution relationships with Fox Sports Net Southwest (Arkansas and Louisiana) and Sunshine Network (Florida), the entirety of SEC-TV programming reaches more than 21 million homes in the conference's geographic footprint.

    The flagship of this eighth-year partnership is SEC-TV Weekly - the live, half-hour studio program, which weekly (Thursdays, 6:30 p.m. ET) updates SEC fans on the latest news and notes from across the 12-member conference.

    Emmy Award-winning SEC play-by-play voice Dave Neal hosts SEC-TV Weekly from Fox Sports Net South's Atlanta studio. He is joined this fall by football analyst Chuck Smith, reporter Jenn Hildreth and guests from across the conference landscape, to deliver compelling snapshots of what's currently happening in the SEC. The recently-retired Smith, a former All-SEC defensive end at Tennessee, was a nine-year veteran with the NFL's Atlanta Falcons. Hildreth played soccer, basketball and ran track at Atlanta's Emory University, and she has been a reporter for SEC gymnastics meet telecasts on SEC-TV.

    In 2002-03, the SEC-TV partnership delivers more than 200 hours of conference programming, comprised of: the live, weekly studio show (September to June); live basketball (men and women) and baseball game telecasts; live volleyball, soccer and softball game and championships telecasts; gymnastics meet and conference championship telecasts; and highlights programs recapping the championships of virtually every other conference sport.

    Jenn Hildreth joins Fox Sports Net in 2002, as a features reporter, focusing primarily on the network's college and high school programming initiatives. She has previously worked as a sideline reporter for Fox Sports Net's meet coverage of Southeastern Conference gymnastics.

    A former standout athlete herself, Hildreth played basketball and soccer, and she ran track at Emory University in Atlanta, from which she was graduated with majors in English and journalism. She was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and was a National Merit Scholar.

    For the past year, Hildreth has also served as a reporter for Atlanta-based Larrison Sports Productions. In that role, she has anchored and produced the "Atlanta Journal-Constitution High School Sports Show," and she has worked as a pit and feature reporter for the Grand National Cross-Country Series (ATV and motorcycle racing).

    Chuck Smith
    Football Analyst - Fox Sports Net

    Former Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Volunteers star defensive end Chuck Smith joins Fox Sports Net in 2002, as the football analyst for the network's SEC-TV studio program.

    Smith also recently joined Atlanta's WSB-TV as a sports broadcaster, one year removed from his injury-induced retirement after a sterling, nine-year NFL career with the Falcons and Carolina Panthers. Smith also co-hosts Atlanta's #1-rated drive time radio show - "The Frank Ski Morning Show" - on station V-103. He has also hosted an edition of CNN's daily Talk Back Live program, was a guest on ESPN's Up Close series, and was featured on HBO's Inside the NFL show.

    A pivotal member of the Tennessee's 1991 SEC Championship team, during which he led the conference in sacks (10), Smith was the Falcons' second-round selection in the 1992 NFL Draft. While at UT, Smith played in the Sugar and Fiesta Bowls, and he earned most valuable player honors at the '92 Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.

    The Athens, Georgia, native was a Falcons team captain in Super Bowl XXXIII, was named All-Pro in '97 (Football Digest/Pro Football Weekly), earned the NFL Unsung Hero Award in '97, was a four-time Pro Bowl alternate, and set the Falcons' career record for fumble recoveries (13). And, in a vote of Falcons fans, Smith was selected the greatest defensive lineman in franchise history.

    Chronic knee problems forced his NFL retirement, one game into the Panthers' '01 season.
